Yeah, the whole road is garbage until the last few miles where it's not as bad, 40 was about the average for the first part of it, don't recommend it for spirited riding, but it's not a bad way to 112.

What kind of gloves did you get? Any recommendations under or around 100 bucks?

leaning towards these as they are on sale:

and does anyone know if all alpine stars pants that do zip into jackets will fit any jacket? if anyone has a pair I'm on the lookout for my tz-1 jacket

Alpinestar gloves are garbage. For under $100 you can get a set of the version1 Cortech Adrenaline's. NHBubba mentioned getting them for around $50. I have a spare set as my back ups and they are great gloves.

What he said ^. I also scored a pair of Cortech Adrenalines for $50. I absolutely love them.

Plus once you get the broke in they fit like a er a "glove". They actually fit better then my Held Phantoms.

Thanks for the recommendations, they fit really well...

Yeah, I like mine. I am hoping to pick up some better quality shorty gloves sometime over the winter.

Glad your buddy is the one healing instead of his family. Like others have questioned, any lessons learned about the cause of the get off would be appreciated. If your buddy doesn't know, his insurance company should pay to replace ALL of his gear. Typically it's just his estimates of what he payed for it or what it costs to replace it new from various websites. Make sure he claims it.

Didn't know you could do this!

Gear is at least considered an "accessory " and should be covered.

We're not talking about insurance fraud here, but if any safety gear has been compromised at all as a result of the accident, it needs to be claimed and replaced. A helmet that struck the ground or scratched (include any extra visors that will need to be repurchased if the model is different), a dent or compression in a back protector, a glove thread that has been rashed through, a boot slider that has been worn down, marks on a jacket or pants, etc. My insurance company even replaced the jeans I was wearing that were scissored by the EMTs. Check with the insurance company as to whether they want to do a physical appraisal, receive pictures of the damaged gear or just a accept a word document stating the purchase price and internet quotes for replacing it all today.
